The Haggadah for Hag HaMazoth in the Tradition of Karaism, by Karaite Hakham Melech Rahmiel ben Ya'aqov, features verses (in both English and Hebrew) taken directly from the Tanach ("Hebrew Bible"), which tell the story of the Exodus of the Children of Israel from Egypt, in keeping with the traditions of Karaism.
Originally compiled in 2011, and updated and enhanced continually since then, a unique feature of the Haggadah is its visual appeal: it contains numerous breathtaking and stunning photos of the land of Israel, most of them taken by Ben Ya'aqov himself during his close to 20 years living in Israel, both in the Jerusalem area and, currently, in the Golan Heights region in the north of the country.
The Haggadah creates a unique opportunity to hold a Passover Seder according to Karaite customs, focusing on the original story of the Exodus without unnecessary additions. It's perfect for those who truly love the Tanach (scripture) in its purest form, with all the depth and meaning that the story of the Exodus contains.
With top quality paper and premium ink, this Haggadah ALSO makes an excellent gift, family keepsake or coffee table book.
